Nestled on 1.8 acres on the wide part of the river, western views display gorgeous sunsets in the evening. Entertain outdoors on the 2-story wharf or on the front patio with a wood-burning fireplace. The views don’t stop once you are inside. A front room addition with a wall of windows gives unobstructed sunny river views.

The large open space living room and dining room have tall ceilings, beautiful pegged oak flooring with redwood walls, and a gas log fireplace. Upstairs there are 2 bedrooms overlooking the expansive front yard and river.

Good sized 3rd bedroom has two closets and an ensuite bathroom with double vanities. There is also a den/study upstairs with a large walk-in storage space.
